How to Make Spoon Rolls

Jump to Recipe

This spoon roll recipe is simple and delicious. There’s nothin’ like the aroma of baking bread filling the kitchen. That has to be one of the best smells in the world.  I love fresh bread more than cakes, pies, cookies or any other dessert.

Have a little somethin’ before or with your meal

Recently my neighbor, Barbara, told me about a little restaurant not far from our city that had the most amazing spoon rolls.  This is the kind of restaurant my mother would have loved.  “They bring you a little something to eat while you wait on your food”, she would have said.  To Mama, that was the mark of a good place to eat.

Barbara said they brought a whole basket and real butter to spread on them. If you   After she went on for a few minutes about them, my mouth was watering.  I was in the process of getting the exact location so that I could go and try them out when she happened to mention that she got the recipe. Next time I saw her, she brought over a basket of hot spoon rolls.  She and I sat on the patio eating them and fell in love with them. 

Easy Peasey

They are the kind of roll that I love.  No rising or rolling out needed.  Just mix the ingredients for spoon rolls up  while the oven preheats  and spoon them into their little muffin cups. The recipe makes a large batch which is great because you can store the dough in the refrigerator and make them for several days. When you get ready to cook some more, just scoop them into the muffin tin.  No need for more Stirrin’.

Now I want you to trust me and give these spoon rolls a try.  Everyone will think you are a culinary expert.
